Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys will host the New Orleans Saints at AT&T Stadium in Week 2 of the NFL season
The recent contract renewal for Dak Prescott with the Dallas Cowboys, worth $240 million, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history, has sparked various reactions. This time, he received praise as a sign of admiration and respect from Eagles legend Jason Kelce.
The former Philadelphia center has a podcast called *New Heights* with his brother Travis Kelce. While discussing the Cowboys’ 33-17 blowout victory over the Cleveland Browns, Jason took the opportunity to express his admiration for Prescott.
“Can you have a better day?” Jason asked rhetorically. “Signed a multi-hundred million dollar contract in the morning and then went out that afternoon and won your first game of the season … that’s a day! That’s a fun experience. Well done, Dak.”
Travis applauded his brother’s comment and also joined in the praise.

“He’s such a good guy. Couldn’t be happier for him. Especially with all the speculation, the injury, and having to prove himself all over again. He proved it last season and now he’s the highest-paid player in the league,” Travis said.
Travis Kelce recently spent time with Dak Prescott and built a good relationship after both participated in the NFL program Tight End University during the offseason.
Will Jason’s comments have an impact?
Jason anticipated the reaction from Eagles fans on New Heights, knowing that it’s rare for a legend to speak so highly of a key player from a team that is one of their biggest conference rivals.

“I’m gonna upset some Eagles fans, but I like where Dak’s at right now. You can see in his interviews how much more comfortable he is with being a leader in the NFL. The last two years, it just appears he’s more confident on and off the field. I’m digging his entire vibe,” Jason said.
Will this be the season Prescott reaches the conference final?
One of the major criticisms surrounding Dak Prescott’s multimillion-dollar contract renewal is his underperformance in the playoffs when the Cowboys have qualified. His renewal, along with the re-signing of wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, has raised fans’ hopes of reaching the NFC Championship game.
